How It Works

Estimate the scaling exponent α of a power-law distribution P(x) ∝ x^{-α} using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and the Clauset-Shalizi-Newman method. Includes goodness-of-fit p-value

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Maximum likelihood estimation — The maximum likelihood estimation recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Clauset-Shalizi-Newman method — The clauset-shalizi-newman method recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the power law exponent result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the maximum likelihood estimation, Clauset-Shalizi-Newman method for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Estimate the scaling exponent α of a power-law distribution P(x) ∝ x^{-α} using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and the Clauset-Shalizi-Newman method. Includes goodness-of-fit p-value. Use the power law exponent result to inform your clinical assessment.
